Abstract: More than 600 birds belonging to 50 species and 8 orders, coming mostly from southern Bohemia in the Czech Republic, were dissected during 1977-1983 and 1999. Parasitic nematodes seemed to be more prevalent in carnivorous than herbivorous birds. Thirteen species of birds of the orders Falconiformes, Charadriiformes (Larus ridibundus Linnaeus, 1766), Passeriformes and Pelecaniformes (Phalacrocorax carbo Linnaeus, 1758) were infected with 20 nematode species: Capillariidae (11 species), Ascarididae (3), Syngamidae (2), Acuariidae (2), Anisakidae (1) and Aproctidae (1). The occurrence of some rare species (Aonchotheca longifilla (Dujardin, 1845), Baruscapillaria carbonis (Dubinin et Dubinina, 1940), Capillaria cf. tenuissima (Rudolphi, 1809), Cosmocephalus obvelatus (Creplin, 1825) was recorded. Detailed descriptions of Aonchotheca exilis (Dujardin, 1845) and A. longifilla are given. Baruscapillaria carbonis from Phalacrocorax carbo is new for the nematofauna of the Czech Republic. Parasites of the genus Aonchotheca (López-Neyra, 1947) were recorded from Fringilla coelebs for the first time. |
